there’s a round spa pool and a huge foredeck space with a circular
helipad, featuring a large S instead of the usual H in the centre.
Aft on the owner’s deck is a skylounge with couches, a bar and a
grand piano, while outdoors is a shaded dining area.
On the sundeck, there’s a rectangular spa pool for guests along
with a casual dining area and outdoor kitchen. The Captain’s cabin
is off the bridge that occupies the forward area.
As expected of a Bond-themed yacht, Spectre’s garage, accessed
via a side door, holds a full range of tenders and toys. A second
side door gives the gym and wellness area direct access to the air
and water, and the transom beach club is just the finishing touch
on a yacht that never ceases to amaze.
Spectre is the result of a collaboration between Benetti, Mulder,
Cassetta and Benetti’s in-house interior design team, but the
inspiration and vision that led to her lay squarely with the owner.
Staluppi may be a car guy and a boat guy, but above all he’s a
business guy and the work he did to make Spectre his ideal yacht paid
off in spades when he sold her, as Fusignani explains with a rueful
smile: “He may have made more money than we did on that sale!”http://www.benettiyachts.itLength overall 69.3m (227ft)

create an atmosphere that recalls the luxury of vintage cars and Art
Deco lounges.
The main saloon opens with 1930s-inspired, tulip-like swivel
chairs on an inlaid marble floor. Moving forward, a huge U-shaped
couch is upholstered in cream fabric and seems to float on a cloud
of ultra-soft carpeting. In the dining area, the inlaid marble floor in
contrasting cream and dark chocolate tones is picked up again.
The lobby has a marble floor inlaid in a pattern that recalls the
pavement of Rome’s Capitoline Hill and Deco-inspired artwork,
similar to Ertè fashion plates. A curved staircase encircles a glass
elevator that leads to all decks and, through a discreet door, a
hallway leads to two en-suite double cabins and a massive, full-
beam VIP suite with twin bathrooms.
Most of Spectre’s guest accommodation is on the main deck, with
just one double cabin and one twin on the lower deck.
Instead of the next level being the bridge deck, it’s a knockout
owner’s deck, with an enormous suite fore where the bridge would
normally be.
This suite’s commanding views through a semi-circle of curved
glass windows can be easily enjoyed from the centrally placed bed.
A circular skylight that recalls the oculus in the Pantheon is over
the bed so you can see the stars at night. Owners have separate
walk-in closets, completely separate bathrooms and a study.
The circular theme continues to the outdoor spaces where
On the lower deck, the beach club faces the aft swim platform,
while the gym is midships and has a fold-down balcony
